Thanks, I had googled that already.  None of these solutions really work
well.

The best one I found was to boot with the rescue disk, then drop into the
command prompt, then copy /users to the other drive, then build a junction
from c:\users to d:\users.

Then reboot.

I tried it, but it couldn't find my user directory afterward.  Not sure what
the prob was.  But I've grown tired and stuck the whole thing in a single
drive.
